This is a groundbreaking event for 621 Gallery and the Board of Directors is so impressed that this is now the 1st Annual Hands Off! We will continue to have this opportunity as well as others, including a call for art donations for our major fundraising event, in the future.

Many thanks to all for contributing to the success of Hands Off! and 621 Gallery.

All the best,
